Chapter 440: Confession
The son apologized again, and Xue Yan added, "At that time, we were outcast, and it happened that the palace was infected with typhoid fever again, and the child was in a hurry, took the wrong way, and deceived you, I'm really sorry." ”
At that time, when Gu Huaisheng found Xue Yan, he actually concealed that he found it because His Royal Highness deceived the insider, but he just said that King Rui had been unwilling to believe it, and secretly sent someone to find it.
Therefore, even if Xue Yan knew that her son had deceived someone, she felt guilty, and she didn't know who she was cheating, until just now, when her son looked up and saw Tang Yanning's side face, and recognized the sister at a glance, he pulled her sleeve and said, I found the woman.
The opportunity is rare, Xue Yan didn't care about etiquette, and took the liberty to bring someone up to apologize, but he never thought that he would see the latest Shoufu lord.
When Gu Huaisheng was promoted, Xue Yan also sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, because it was Gu Huaisheng who discovered her at the beginning, protected their mother and daughter, and invited a doctor to treat her.
It wasn't until King Rui came at that time that her life returned to normal, and for her, Gu Huaisheng was the benefactor of their mother and son.
As soon as she stood at the door, Gu Huaisheng led Tang Yanning over to salute, and she knew that this must be his wife.
It is rumored that Lord Shoufu only has one wife, no concubines, no outside, and never lingers in the flowers, and he is an extremely clean and self-righteous gentleman.
Xue Yan was also curious, where was the fairy who could charm Master Gu as long as she was one, no, she saw it, and this person was also their benefactor, because the three taels of silver that her son deceived at that time really saved her life, at least solved the urgent need.
It's really fate.
Tang Yanning's gaze fell on her slightly apologetic face, the gentle, elegant woman in front of her, the woman who said sorry to her, was Xue Yan.
is not the person in his previous life who was full of sadness and had nothing to love, and only when he mentioned his son, could he have a trace of fireworks.
She smiled and said, "Niangniang is too polite." ”
Xue Yan's eyes were full of gratitude, and she thanked the husband and wife again.
Gu Huaisheng was a foreign minister after all, and Xue Yan didn't want to stay for a long time, so after chatting for a while, he took his son and left.
His Royal Highness liked Tang Yanning very much, and waved his hand when he left, "Sister, I live in a rented house in Yongfu Lane now, you have nothing to do to come and play." ”
He still calls her sister, Tang Yanning has just corrected it, but His Royal Highness is quite stubborn, so he called his sister, saying that when he saw her for the first time, he felt that she was as kind as the eldest sister.
Gu Huaisheng said, follow His Highness.
Xue Yan nodded her son's head dotingly, looking like she couldn't do anything about him, then turned her eyes to Tang Yanning, stepped forward and took her hand kindly, and said with a smile: "I don't know why, this palace always feels as if I have seen Mrs. Gu somewhere?" ”
Tang Yanning always gave her a sense of familiarity, an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and she couldn't say it, as if they had seen it before.
Tang Yanning's other hand, which was hidden in the cuff, pinched the handkerchief tightly for a moment, but his face was still calm, he held Xue Yan's hand instead, and even blinked, and teased: "Yes, the courtiers also feel as if they have seen Niangniang somewhere, maybe we knew each other in our previous lives?" ”
Xue Yan quipped: "It's possible." ”
She feels very good about Tang Yanning, when Tang Yanning talks to her, she does not deliberately compliment, her posture is neither humble nor arrogant, and her words are also listening, not exaggerated, and she is more likable than the ladies and ladies who surround her and want to climb the relationship.
Plus they helped them again, and this liking added a few points.
Xue Yan agreed with her when she left, and she would go back to give her a post and ask her to come over for a while, and she felt that she was very close to her.
Tang Yanning responded with a smile.
Xue Yan originally lived in the palace with her son, and the former prince's palace was also under the protection of Zhao Jingxiu.
Recently, I went back to my father's house, and now it is more convenient to meet than in the palace.
After Xue Yan left, Shuang'er Luluo immediately closed the door again and continued to guard outside.
Gu Huaisheng took Tang Yanning's hand that he had just subconsciously clenched for a moment and rubbed it, and said in a doting tone: "Let's go, where do you want to go, it's rare for your husband to rest today, take you to go shopping." ”
When he had finished speaking, he pulled her out.
Tang Yanning suddenly clenched his hand, didn't move, lowered his eyelashes, didn't dare to look directly at his eyebrows, only stared at his boots, and seemed to say to himself: "Huaisheng, don't you wonder why I asked you to help save Xue Yan when I first surrendered the letter, in fact, I know Xue Yan, I have accepted her love, I ......"
"A-Ning." Gu Huaisheng suddenly interrupted her.
"I was once given to Shou Guogong in disguise, it was she, it was Xue Yan who helped me, and it was Shuang'er, Shuang'er saved me, but, however, I didn't keep Shuang'er, and I didn't complete Xue Yan's request......"
"Aning......" Gu Huaisheng's voice was a little louder this time, "Don't say it." ”
The tone was not shocked, but with a touch of distress.
Tang Yanning's eyes suddenly turned red, she was just about to say it, she had exhausted all her courage, the depth of her love, this hidden secret would make her afraid, she was afraid that one day he would ask and investigate it.
She was afraid that if she concealed it, there would be an estrangement between the two, and if she confessed, he would turn around and leave......
She didn't know what to do.
She held his hand, a thin layer of sweat was already dripping from her palms, her body trembled slightly, and her tone was uneasy, "Huaisheng, do you believe in the past and this life?" ”
Gu Huaisheng stared at her and held his hand tightly, sensing her uneasiness and panic, sighed, and hugged the person into his arms, "I believe it." ”
He didn't believe it, this kind of ethereal thing in the past life and this life only appeared in the book, and so did the gods, he didn't believe it, he only believed in himself, and believed that only by making himself strong could he get what he wanted.
But because of her, he believed.
Fool, did she really think he didn't know anything?
Tang Yanning raised her head in surprise, her eyes were full of mist, blurring her vision, and her outline was a little unclear and couldn't see through......
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and his movements were gentle, "What about the past life, after all, it's the past, isn't it, I just want you, as long as I am in front of me now, you are alive, Aning, no matter what, I will not leave you, no, never ......"
His voice was gentle, delicate, and low, at this moment, to Tang Yanning's ears, it sounded better than any voice he had ever heard, tears came out of his eyes, uncontrollable, even her heart was uncontrollable, her tone was trembling, "When, when did you know?" ”
Gu Huaisheng hugged her into his arms again, "No matter when, it doesn't matter anymore, A-Ning, since I have identified you, it will be you in this life......"
In fact, it was only in these months that he understood.
Does Tang Yanning think that she is hiding it well, then does she know how much nonsense she said in a daze when she was drunk, and how many dream words she said when she had nightmares.
At first, Gu Huaisheng didn't understand, and sometimes he was curious, but what she said was intermittent and a little vague, he just thought she was drunk.
But that time in Qingcheng County, she seemed to be drunk, drunk and thought he was a god, grabbed his robe, cried for a long time, and talked for a long time.
She kept repeating that she was wrong, wrong, she shouldn't be willing to be cheap, she shouldn't be a concubine, she was wrong, she was wrong because she didn't know people clearly, and she was wrong so that she couldn't wait to start over......
She tugged at his sleeve and prayed, "You are a god above the nine heavens, right, can you help me, help me, let me go back to the past, back to when my mother was still there, back to when my son was still there, back to when there were still people who loved me......
"Don't leave me alone, don't, I'm afraid ......"
Forgotten by her relatives in Yilanyuan, troubled by her mother, despised by the maids, the scenery day after day, the box-like sky, the cold room, the cold in the heart at night, the loneliness everywhere, always invaded her, at that time, she could no longer hear a greeting from Shuang'er......
She spoke incoherently, but her tone was extremely sad and lonely......
She seemed to be weak, and suddenly sat down on the ground, tugging at his robe, her eyes were expectant, "Can you save my maid, her name is Shuang'er, she grew up with me, she is a good girl, but for me, she has been ruined, ruined by bad people......"
Speaking of this, she was a little broken, clutching her knees tightly, burying her head in, curled up slightly, as if she couldn't find someone to rely on, she could only hug her knees tightly.
She couldn't stop crying, and shouted Shuang'er's name over and over again.
It was like a knot pressing on the bottom of her heart, and only when she was drunk and unconscious, she dared to cry uncontrollably.
For a moment, Gu Huaisheng's heart seemed to be grabbed, and the pain spread......
He carried her back into the house, washed her face, and soothed her like the kindest of gods, soothing her with the gentlest voice.
The nonsense she cried out that time was very informative, and Gu Huaisheng woke up the next day, combined with her drunken words and the reading note, he roughly understood.
Undoubtedly, he was shocked, and even felt incredible, for this reason, after he returned to Shangling, he quietly went to Qingquan Temple and asked to meet a respected abbot.
The abbot was very old, his white beard was three inches long, he twisted the Buddha beads, did not explain the previous life, and only gave Gu Huaisheng a sentence, "All the past is a prologue, and all the future is something to look forward to." ”
Why bother with the theory of the past life, whether there is or not, the past is the past after all, after all, it is, and there is no going back.
There is only hope for the future.
Gu Huaisheng left, and after going back, A-Ning ran out with a smile, pulled his sleeve and said, "I'm back, it seems that I'm back earlier today." ”
"Hungry or not? Dinner hasn't been cooked in the kitchen today, I don't know if you want to eat something else if you come back early......"
She dragged him in, not noticing the difference he had made today, and as usual, she thought about it in pieces.
All his doubts, entanglements, and hesitations disappeared in A-Ning's cheerful "I'm back".
He didn't want her to explain it again, because he didn't want her to reminisce, he knew that she didn't have many good memories in her previous life.
That time in Qingcheng County, her tears impressed him too much, and he didn't want to make her cry so much a second time.
Tang Yanning stretched out her hand and hugged him tightly, tightly, as if Gu Huaisheng was her only salvation.
This man, obviously knew it for a long time, but he didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, tolerated her, warmed her, cared for her, such a man, how could she be willing to let go, how willing she was, she would not let go of death.
